[quote=Anonymous]Most of the very selective schools look for higher scores in Reading Comprehension and Verbal than in the math sections - they figure you can teach kids math at this age, but it's much harder to teach them to read better. It also makes a difference if you are applying from public or another private - especially so with math as public schools must stick to a curriculum that conforms to PARCC timelines for the grade. My DCPS kids all came out of the ISEE lower level (5th applying for 6th) saying they had never seen some of the material on the test, which they took in January and December (we have one coming up next weekend, so even earlier in the academic year).[/quote]
